I SEEM TO BE STUCK,

but in a most delightful place, creating clay drawings. I can't remember the last time I've had so much fun, plain ole fun, in the studio. I want to do more with the watercolor and acrylic, and I will, but have no intention of abandoning the clay. I can easily work in all 3 media simultaneously. But to do so I feel I have to explore new approaches, especially with the acrylics, and hope to begin doing so soon. There is so much material from my trip that I want to work with.

the main piazza in Greve, a small city in Tuscany...clay drawing

The small (6x12") drawing below is a bridge between the clay drawings and acrylic. The warm background is acrylic on a gesso panel. The drawing is a combination of ink, markers, and acrylic.
